Reviews of Rain Shadow Meats (Butcher Shop)

Peter Martincic

When I first moved here I was so excited when I found them. I used to love this place. They used to get meat from Gleason Ranch and other such places that awoke me to what truly fantastic beef is. I know from my initial experiences that the owner knows what amazing meat is but makes little effort to provide it anymore. A little over a year ago there was a change of the guard and many of the butchers I know have left (at least one was fired). At the melrose location there is a chalk board with a list of locations they claim to get beef from. If you ask, you'll find it's been so long that they've gotten a side of beef from those locations that many of the butchers there have never seen a side of beef come in while employed there. Rain Shadow Meats is a bag meat butcher. Smell, it says a lot about the meat. I could have gone to any other bag meat butcher or the supermarket and gotten something similar. If you're going for chicken or pork you might ignore this review. Yesterday was the last time I buy beef from them.

BEST butcher around! We get our meat delivered from them every week, and it makes cooking a nice meal every night so easy...all you really need is salt and pepper! The chicken hindquarters are a special favorite of ours...we will not buy chicken anywhere else. And Russ, Robbie, and team are awesome. We enjoy seeing them and appreciate the personalized service.

Underwhelmed by service and when i asked about prices i got a "read the sign" response. Screw these shysters

I asked for a custom ground mince and the person on phone started laughing and said my request was ridiculous. I could go to a super market if I wanted to get regular meat, why would I even need to visit a butcher shop if I do not get what I need. I got the same custom ground from them before and they happily accepted my order, I guess this time I spoke to that one person that would drive a business to the ground. Anyways got my meat from Don & Joe’s. Their service was much better, I’ll be getting my meat from them from now.

Best butcher shop in town.

Absolutely the best butcher in Seattle. I have purchased prime rib, steaks, bacon... Well I guess I'm not a vegetarian... And Rain Shadow Meats is simply the best.

I have been pleased with the service here. The price is very good considering the quality of meat. The service was a little impersonal at first, but upon returning they have certainly been warmer. I highly recommend this butcher.
